Accordingly, the parties' request for a 15-page extension is granted. Nevertheless, because the Court remains concerned that the parties' over-sized briefs will be tailored more to the court of public opinion than to the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, the Court reminds the parties that their submissions shall be limited to argument and authorities relevant to the pending motion.

| 121 | Nov 8, 2021 | View | OPINION AND ORDER re: 102 MOTION for Summary Judgment . filed by The Madison Square Garden Company, MSG Sports & Entertainment, LLC, MSG Networks, Inc., James Dolan, 106 MOTION for Leave to File Second Amended Complaint . filed by Charles Oakley. For the past three years, much ink has been spilled describing and characterizing what transpired between Charles Oakley and the security guards tasked with escorting him from Madison Square Garden during a Knicks game in February 2017. These descriptions and characterizations have had their place in the pleadings, in the Defendants' motions to dismiss, and on appeal. But at this stage of the proceedings, the case is no longer about words. It's about evidence. And the undisputed video evidence conclusively demonstrates that the Garden's security guards did not use excessive force as they escorted Oakley from the arena. To the contrary, the video clearly shows that: (1) the guards asked Oakley to leave; (2) they gave him a chance to leave; and (3) when he refused to leave, and in fact escalated the confrontation, they removed him from the Garden by using a degree of force that was indisputably reasonable and appropriate under the circumstances. No rational jury could conclude otherwise, and Oakley's previously offered versions of the events are so blatantly contradicted by the [video] record... that no reasonable jury could believe [them]. Scott, 550 U.S. at 380. Therefore, for the reasons stated above, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED THAT Defendants' motion for summary judgment is GRANTED. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED THAT Oakley's request for leave to file another amended complaint is DENIED. The Clerk of Court is respectfully directed to terminate the motions pending at docket numbers 102 and 106 and to close this case. SO ORDERED. Sitting by Designation. (Signed by Judge Richard J. Sullivan on 11/8/2021) (ate) (Entered: 11/08/2021) |
